This will be my last post until next weekend. My wife and I are taking a short vacation to Northwest Costa Rica. I am never sure about my internet connections here in the U.S. when I travel for work, much less in Costa Rica, so I am not sure how often I will get to visit BF next week. Everybody have a safe and wonderful week and take great pictures!

Despite the darck plumage the bird is so well shown. It looks great against the OOF background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian
